The Pairing

The Reasoning

One of the most adorable and intriguing creatures in Tucker’s world is the Firecat. A sweet companion animal with the possibility of a dangerous edge, I found myself wanting to create a cocktail to represent them. This is a peachy concoction with a slow burn, and nicely customizable depending on your tolerance for heat! I think the amounts I used create a pleasant spiciness that isn’t too harsh, but those with a low tolerance and chili-heads may want to alter to their own tastes.

The Recipe

You will need:

Cocktail shaker

Ice

2 oz Tequila

1 oz Vodka

4 oz peach juice

2-3 drops orange bitters

1 tsp red pepper/chilli jelly

3-4 drops hot sauce (Or to taste. I used Tapatío, but others would be equally good!)
